I'm Alive - Jackson Browne, David Lindley

It’s been a long time since I watched these lights alone

I look around my life tonight and you are gone

I might have done something to keep you if I’d known

How unhappy you had become

While I was dreaming of you

With my heart in your hands

And I was following though

With my beautiful plans

Yeah now I’m rolling down this canyon drive

With your laughter in my head

I’m gonna have to block it out somehow to survive

Cause those dreams are dead

And I’m alive

I want to go where I will never hear your name

I want to lose my sorrow and be free again

And I know I’ve been insane

When I think of places I could have been

But I was dreaming of you

With my heart in your hands

And I was following through

With my beautiful plans

Standing here by the highway side

Watching these trucks blow by

Inches from my face

Yeah thinking 'bout the time I’ve wasted

And the pleasure we once tasted

Looking up and down this road

I’ve been here before

Can’t be here no more

Yeah now I’m rolling down California five

With your laughter in my head

I’m gonna have to block it out somehow to survive

Cause those dreams are dead

And I’m alive
